Meijer Gluten-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week leans on Meijer's meat deals, starting Monday with BBQ chicken thighs (2 lbs for $3.38) and ending Friday with a ham and cheese egg scramble skillet. Multicolor peppers show up on both Tuesday and Thursday, first in the ground beef rice bowls and then with the pork loin chops, so you get variety from the same produce. Wednesday's pork shoulder butt roast is a great value at $5.97 for 3 lbs, but it needs about 3 hours 15 minutes, so season it the night before or roast it Tuesday night and reheat. Potatoes, rice, eggs and cheese make up most of the sides, which keeps the plan simple and gluten-free friendly, though it's worth checking the label on the BBQ sauce and your pantry spices before you cook.
